On May 11, the WTA1000 Roman station performed a dramatic turn. Defending champion Svatech, new Australian Open winner Case and US Open star Pegula were eliminated collectively, and the three top five players in the world failed on the clay court on the same day. As the roster of the quarterfinals in the second half of the zone was settled, Chinese fans' attention was focused on Zheng Qinwen, who was about to make an appearance. As a French Open outpost, this year's Roman station gathers top experts from around the world. The first two rounds of the game were calm, and the top ten seeds advanced. The turning point occurred on the fifth game day, and three heavyweight duels broke out one after another. The most shocking thing is the battle between Svatech and Collins, the Polish star was in a sluggish whole game and almost swallowed the eggs in the first set. Although he barely held the serve in the sixth game, he made frequent mistakes in the serve reception and finally suffered a tragic sweep of 1-6/5-7, and his path to defending the title came to an abrupt end.

What is even more surprising is the elimination of the fifth seed Kase. The American star who started the 6-2 fantasy game was reversed by Sterns in two consecutive draws. At the critical moment of the decisive set-up tiebreak, Case missed the match point, revealing the biggest upset since the start of the game. The third seed Pegula, who was finale, also could not escape the misfortune. She suddenly lost her temper when facing her old opponent Mertens, and her key points were frequently missed, and she lost to this Belgian hero for the first time in her career. Other games in the second half of the

are also exciting. Japanese star Naomi Osaka showed her tenacious fighting spirit and won two sets in a row against Buzkova when she lost one set first. Two-time champion Svitorina narrowly defeated the dark horse in three hours, while No. 6 seed Bolini continued to be in a hot state, and went straight to two sets to eliminate the former French Open quarter-finals Jabbar.

With the quarterfinals announced, the focus turned to the upper half of the competition. The Chinese Golden Flower Zheng Qinwen is about to usher in a key battle, and his opponent is Polish good player Fletcher. It is worth noting that Zheng Qinwen has accumulated 18 victories in the Italian tournament, only three games away from Svatech's 21 win record. As Polish star was eliminated early, the Chinese girl is expected to achieve a double breakthrough on this site, which not only refreshes her best record in Rome, but also hits the top spot in the same period.

This mid-wave showdown has hidden mystery. The two sides won one victory in the past. The last time they met Zheng Qinwen lost in the decisive set. If China Golden Flower can maintain patience in the bottom line stalemate and use the forehand to mobilize its opponents at a large angle, it is very likely to create history. Event experts pointed out that Zheng Qinwen's serving status has improved significantly recently, and the second-time scoring rate has increased by 12% compared with the same period last year, which may become the key to breaking the situation.

Can the Chinese Legion continue its hot momentum? Zheng Qinwen's double-line impact not only concerns personal breakthroughs, but also affects the ranking of French Open seeds. As the event enters a white-hot stage, every shot may be rewritten, and every game will touch people's hearts.
